How to make your Paper Plate Fish Craft

Cut a small wedge shape out of a paper plate to create a mouth.

Turn the plate upside down and paint the backside yellow.

Cut a banana shaped piece from the rim of another paper plate to
create a tail. Paint this piece blue/purple.

When the pieces are dry glue the tail piece in place.

Glue a googly eye above the mouth.

Our 2 year old painted this fish!
